Turbo not boosting...

[Ruggish]

Hey there,
I have a 99 civic with a Greddy TD04H Turbo off a 1rst gen Eclipse. Just the other day the turbo stopped boosting. One minute it was there, the next....nothing.
The boost gauge appears to operate fine up to the point when boost is required. then the gauge never goes above the zero..... The car operates fine...except no turbo.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

my friend had a similar problem, turned out that because his car was poorly maintained,and ragged on.. oil from the head built up carbon deposits on the wastegate actuator and jammed it open.. i've heard of this on a few other greddy kits.. so i'd start there

check your charge pipes, one might have popped off somewhere. Happened to me all the time.

I'm thinking pipes as well. Take off your intake filter and check the wheel for shaft play.

most lickly your piping pop open at the couplers

Thanks for the comments. That is exactly what happened. You've got to love the quick fix.

You have to scream "Turbo Boost" in order for it to work. My man David knows how to do it.
